Document Summary
Pert and cpm networks: pert and cpm developed independently in 1950s, program evaluation and review technique (pert) is a statistical tool. By a ream from us navy, booz-allen hamilton, and lockheed aircraft. Probabilistic activity durations: critical path method (cpm) By morgan walker from dupont de nemours inc. Includes both time and cost estimates to allow time/cost trade-offs: both employ networks to schedule and display task sequences. The language of pert/cpm: activity: a task or set of tasks required by the project and use resources and time, event: an identifiable state resulting from completion of one or more activities. Predecessor activities must be completed: milestones: identifiable and noteworthy events that mark significant progress, for example. Deliverables that meet deadlines can be milestones.
